Leverage

Leverage is the ratio of the amount capital used in a transaction to the required security deposit ( the “margin“).

It is the ability to control large dollar amounts of a financial instrument with a relatively small amount of capital.

Leverage varies dramatically with different brokers, ranging from 2:1 to 500:1.

Now that you’ve impressed your dates with your forex lingo, how about showing them the different types of trade orders?
